After arranging and settling everything needed at home, Zhou Jiao returned to school accompanied by Zhang Guoqing, and the couple once again parted ways to work for their future.
This time, traveling with Zhou Jiao were her twenty classmates and thirty others from different classes. The fifty students from the Electrical Engineering Department including Miao Zhenggen took the train to Jiangcheng City under the guidance of several professors and two assistant teachers. After a short stay there, they transferred trains to their final destination—Lingnan City.
With Zhang Guoqing absent due to being chosen for army training, naturally, Yi Jiefang took charge of their class. Yi Jiefang considered staying in Beijing might have been a better choice.
Returning to his hometown base wasn't as splendid as imagined. This internship stationed him in the grassroots, with no opportunity to rise as a king of sorts. Without his close buddies, it felt tasteless.
